Part 2 of our club meet is all about US States. We laid out the us map and used index cards with shapes of the states or questions about the states. Players took turns to answer the questions. Whoever gets it right has to spell that state aloud and move that many letters in the state name. This served as a general knowledge session as well as a spelling test on US States. :)
And this week mom introduced another element to the class: The last 5 mins of the club session, We have to give each a speech comprehending what we played in the class and what we learnt, like what is the rule for each game etc. We got so excited about the speech part - we really thought we could all deliver a great speech after being inspired by Obama's inaguaration and all - but ooh..it is not as easy as it sounds! We tried our bet though. Since every week we would deliver a speech about the class and the other moms would be our audiences, mom thinks we would get the hang of it in the coming sessions. Hey thats the whole point of adding this element.
We reused an existing one, but it is very easy, just stick the map and draw the game path.
